Molecular Marker Enhances Minimized Diagnosis of Brain Tumors

The work group of Prof. Dr. Eckart Meese at Saarland University identified special features of tumour cells that could constitute a basis for an improved special diagnostic investigation. Tumour antigens were identified which trigger an immune reaction exclusively in patients with glioms or meningeoms. Based on this success re-search was extended on the fields of MS and COPD.

Compared with common procedures, the minimally invasive diagnosis, based on blood analysis, is a very cost-efficient method. Furthermore, this procedure means less inconveniences for the patient (complete blood count only).
